Versuri Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast

"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beastwith wrath, because he knows the time is
short...Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beastfor it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixtysix."Revelations ch. xiii v. 18

I left alone my mind was blankI needed time to get the memories from my
mind

What did I see can I believe that what I sawthat night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old
dreams were theyreflections of my warped mind staring back at me

The night was black was no use holding backCos I just had to see was someone watching
meIn the mist dark figures move and twistwas all this for real or some kind of hell666 the Number of the BeastHell and
fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praisedas they start to cry hands held to the skyIn
the night the fires burning brightthe ritual has begun Satan's work is done666 the Number of the BeastSacrifice is going on
tonight

This can't go on I must inform the lawCan this still be real or some crazy dreambut I feel drawn towards the evil
chanting hordesthey seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes666 the Number of the Beast666 the one for you and
me

I'm coming back I will returnAnd I'll possess your body and I'll make you burnI have the fire I have the forceI have
the power to make my evil take its course
